Engineering Manager

🚀 About Pulley

Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be. 

We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, self-starters to help us build equity management tools for founders. Pulley is growing quickly with over 1600 customers including unicorns like Clubhouse, Birdies, Coda, and Fast - all within our first year of product launch. Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels. All of our growth has been organic, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand.

🌟 Who We're Looking For

We’re looking for experienced engineering managers who are excited about building, mentoring, and leading a remote engineering team to solve challenging technical and product problems as Pulley scales.

You will have significant responsibility for the equity managed on Pulley. The quality of features shipped through your team and the pace of new feature development will make or break Pulley's future.

🛠 Responsibilities

• Drive the roadmap and priorities for your team
• Be deeply involved in designing and building new features for new product launches
• Create and manage processes to help the team do its best work
• Collaborate cross-functionally to understand the product roadmap, and communicate clearly to your team what we are building and why this matters.
• Recruit great engineers to join your team
• Develop engineers on the team and help them advance in their careers

🙌 Qualifications & Fit

• You’ve managed teams that shipped and operated critical infrastructure
• You work very well cross-functionally and are able to think rigorously and make hard decisions and tradeoffs
• You thrive on a high level of autonomy and responsibility
• You’re technical enough to ask engineers good questions about architecture and product decisions
• You have experience managing engineering teams
• You can find a balance between optimizing for speed and quality

💚 Benefits

• Generous health insurance
• Unlimited vacations
• Commuting & food

✨ Our Culture

TL&DR - Pulley is not a good fit for everyone, and that’s OK. This is a bit about the culture of Pulley. We need people who aren’t just interested in working at a startup; we need people who are excited about building a great company. In addition to function-specific skills, here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:

• Ego-less Learner -- Every day at Pulley, we are trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. To be successful here, you need to embrace that feeling of ‘being a beginner’ and be willing to accept feedback in stride. 
• Less Talk; More Action -- Everyone rolls up our sleeves at Pulley. If your strength is being the ‘idea gal or guy’ but you don’t create your own slides or write your own code, then we are not a great fit.  
• Prioritize ruthlessly - Our view is that being a 10x engineer is not about writing more code; it’s about making the right decision on what to build. We’re hiring for people who can make the right strategic decisions on where to spend their time

We’re also inspired by the culture work done at other companies and plan to develop our own playbook here too. One of the concepts that resonate most with us is the importance of stunning colleagues.

If you like the sound of our environment and you’re passionate about joining a team like the one we’ve described, we'd love to talk!
